AN2D 4870 - Stop Motion Animation

Credits: 3

Using clay figures or wire armature puppets, students will explore the world of stop motion animation in this senior-level filmmaking course. Application of fundamental animation principles in a stop motion setting is emphasized, along with expression of personality through movement. Students will analyze outstanding examples of stop motion animation, and will gain experience with techniques and concepts for lighting dimensional characters and sets. Green screen shooting, lip sync animation, and post-production techniques such as keying and tracking will also be a part of this class. At the conclusion of this course, students will have built a puppet suitable for animation, created a simple set for shooting their puppet and completed a short stop motion film.

Prerequisites: AN2D 3230 - Character Animation + Motion Studies  OR AN3D 3230 - 3D Computer Animation Motion Studies
